REAR MOTOR SUPPORT.

Application filed March 9, 1925. Serial No. 14,052.

It is a primary object of my invention to provide a rear motor support for internal combustion engines wherein the metal of the engine supporting arms and. the frame sup- 5 porting elements are completely insulated from each other by rubber or some other resilient and cushioning material, so as to dampen vibration manifested from the engine to the frame.

It is a further object of in invention to so construct my improved device that the rubberinsulation will not be disintegrated in use.

With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in the arrangement, combination and construction of the various parts of my improved device as described in the specification, claimed in my claim and shown in the accompanying drawing in which;

Fig. 1 is a top or plan view ofmy improved device.

pin 16. A flanged or dished metal washer 17 is rovided over the flanged portion 18 of the s eeve 12 and a flat washer 19 is tioned between the bottom of the nut and the top of the washer 17. A similar flanged or dished washer 20 is provided under the flanged portion 21 of the sleeve 13, the bottom of which washer bears upon the top of the frame arm 22, which is secured to the bottom and top fla side member 23.

5 24 and 25 of a flanged nut 26 is provided on ing arms, frame side members, apertures in said arms, bolts extending through said the bottom of the bolt 14 with a lock washer 27 positioned between it and the bottom of the arm 22.

The rubber sleeves 12 and 13 are of such length that when assembled as shown it will be necessarv to slightly compress them between the flanged washers 17 and 20 so that no movement of the sleeves between the end of the arms 11 and the bolts 14 will take place except in the flexing of the rubber itself. In other words there will be no chafing action upon the rubber so as to chip or otherwise disintegrate it.

The flanged washers 17 and 20 serve to confine the rubber within certain limits. It will be noted that the ends of the flanges are slightly spaced from the adjacent faces of the arm ends so as to ermit vibration absorption by the rubber without contact of the metal washers with the metal arms.

It will be obvious that various changes may be made in the arrangement, combination and construction of the various parts of my improved device without departing from the spirit of my, invention, and it is my in--' tention to cover by my claim any such changes as may be reasonably included within the scope thereof.

What I claim is: y

In combination, an internal combustion engine having oppositely disposed supportapertures and' connected with said frame members, resilient sleeves around said bolts insulating them from said arms, top and bottom flanges on said sleeves insulating the 30 heads of the bolts and the frame connections from said arms, and flanged washers disposed around said bolts adjacent said flanges adapted to hold said flangesagainst excess spreading.

I HOWARD E.'MAYNARD.
